Reduce Complexity, Strengthen Financial Confidence

A current, accurate Charge Description Master (CDM) is essential to revenue integrity. Yet many health systems still manage it manually—creating risks for compliance, revenue, and reputation. Health Catalyst helps revenue cycle teams maintain defensible pricing, manage regulatory updates, and close CDM gaps across departments, facilities, and systems.

Simplify CDM Oversight and Standardization

Eliminate manual processes and reduce variability across departments and facilities.

  • Centralize CDM files in a single, cloud-based platform.
  • Provide change management workflows by role.
  • Automate flags for duplication, error, and missing codes.
  • View enterprise-wide CDM status, approvals, and audits.

Result: Less manual effort and more consistent pricing and charge capture.

Defend Pricing with Confidence

Support strategic pricing decisions with internal logic and external benchmarks.

  • Apply pricing methods to set fair, defensible rates.
  • Compare procedure prices by region, payer, and market.
  • Model impacts of pricing changes before implementation.
  • Incorporate CMS and payer data into pricing workflows.

Result: Stronger price transparency and greater confidence in reimbursement.

Elevate Chargemaster Management with Data-Driven Insight

Chargemaster management is more than spreadsheet maintenance—it’s a strategic, data-driven discipline that shapes financial health across your enterprise. With Health Catalyst, you gain the clarity, control, and confidence to align compliance with revenue performance.
